A multi-antenna aided base station (BS) supporting several multi-antenna downlink users with the aid of a reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS) of programmable reflecting elements (PREs) is considered. Low-resolution PREs constrained by a set of sparse discrete values are used for reasons of cost-efficiency. Our challenging objective is to jointly design the beamformers at the BS and the RIS's PREs for improving the throughput of all users by maximizing their geometric-mean, under a variety of different access schemes. This constitutes a computationally challenging problem of mixed continuous-discrete optimization, because each user's throughput is a complicated function of both the continuous-valued beamformer weights and of the discrete-valued PREs. We develop low-complexity algorithms, which iterate by directly evaluating low-complexity closed-form expressions. Our simulation results show the advantages of non-orthogonal multiple access-aided signaling, which allows the users to decode a part of the multi-user interference for enhancing their throughput.
